Don't you find cousin marriages awkward?

Re: Don't you find cousin marriages awkward?

My parents are cousins, i have these other cousins who are married to each other as well...but i find it a bit awkward because i believe whats the point of staying in same family and live with someone who you know since childhood...the maza of shaadi is to marry someone you probably don't know well enough and explore each other and grow together from there onwards plus cousin shaadis can be a masl for the whole family if the two of them don't want to live togther later on the family keeps on pressurising them and all...so yeah for me its a no no to cousin marriages.
